Hi All
I'm new to the forum. I just picked up a 1978 Merc 4.5 that didn't run
Looking it over I see that there must have been some type of major short as coil and ground wire are all decoated
I am replaceing them and have filed the points so I don't have to spend LARGE $$$ to replace them.
My questions is, what is the contact setting? I was going to just start off with 0.016, but would rather just set them right the 1st time since I don't have a manual.
Thanks for your help, Bruce
